Abstract

The study aimed to measure the emotional intelligence of deans and its relationship to the degree of faculty members' feelings of occupational alienation in their work environment. The sample consisted of 10 deans and 200 faculty members working at Salahaddin University in Erbil. The study found several important results, including that the deans exhibited above-average emotional intelligence, with the highest scores in two dimensions (emotional expression and emotional perception) among the five dimensions of emotional intelligence. Additionally, the study revealed that faculty members experienced lower levels of occupational alienation. Finally, there was a significant correlation between the emotional intelligence of the deans and the occupational alienation of the faculty members. The study recommended the inclusion of emotional intelligence measures in the evaluation tests for leadership positions to ensure high levels of harmony and interaction between leaders and subordinates. It also suggested developing training programs to enhance emotional intelligence among all employees at various administrative levels within the colleges. This approach should not be limited to having a high level of emotional intelligence among leaders to understand the circumstances and feelings of their subordinates, but also ensure that subordinates possess a high level of emotional intelligence to understand the circumstances and feelings of their leaders when they act in an unsatisfactory manner. The study also recommended reducing faculty members' alienation by deepening their social belonging to the workplace and creating a cooperative and integrative social bond among faculty members within the same college.
